Forming plastic in a mould
Plastic injection moulding forms a component by injecting melted plastic into a mould. The material cools and solidifies inside the mould, which then opens so the component can be removed.
What does production require?
The process uses plastic material, an injection moulding machine and a mould suited to the product. Product design considers dimensions, wall thickness and intended use, and the mould is manufactured to match.
Where is it used?
Injection moulding can produce caps, plastic housings, household components and technical parts. A mould supports repeated production, with material and process settings selected for the component.
Trials and checks
Trial components are assessed before production. Dimensions, appearance and functional requirements are reviewed and adjustments made. Tool condition and process conditions are monitored during production.
